Anyone see Jethro on Bob Costas

[Whirlwin]

I still want to believe the association with surnames for sports was well intended to commemorate their history not as derogatory.

I think the league got caught flat footed on this issue with all of the social injustices issues facing our country. I’d of recommended a better public perception and message into why the names were originally chosen .

And the league and franchises could have extended some meaningful contributions monetarily and symbolical to our country’s history with Native Americans like Jim Thorpe who were an influence in the sports early years.

Change is inevitable. If I’ve learned anything it’s that. The motive. Lol right wrong or indifferent I try not to get involved. I like staying neutral live and let live. If that doesn’t always work either. Lol

There were some very positive reasons why they chose Commanders. And then someone stuck their face in their . Made it more about the culture of the owner.

Braves did it right, they connected with their NA community and got the name signed off.

I hate to lose the Indians name and logo too, but that's more because I loved the movies in my childhood.

They should have chosen the Washington Hemorrhoids

Serious question, why would Dallas be pressured to change their name? What the hell is offensive about a Cowboy?

There was nothing offensive about R edskins either.

 

[Zekeats]

I can’t even respond to that how ridiculous

With the left anything is possible

Of course, you are oblivious to how offensive Cowboys are when you have Rowdy as your avatar.

Just use your directionals

They discussed some very hot topics.

The current Rams law suit with Kronke , the Daniel Snyder emails in Washington , gambling and Goodell along with some personal questions about his involvement with the Cowboys now, past and in the future.

One question they ended the interview with was did he think Dallas would ever be forced by public pressure to change our name from the Cowboys. He of course said we shouldn’t bet on it.

But overall Jethro held up fairly well and Costas didn’t corner or grill him as much as he could have.

If the Cowboys ever change their name, the NFL can officially fold up its tent.

Bob Costas is in the same unwatchable category as Colin Cowherd and Stephen A Smith.

 

[Mannix]

If they change Cowboys to anything else I'm gone. Should have never changed Washington's team name either.

Or the Red River Shootout!!!

The question about changing the Cowboys name is stupid and is only to stir up drama. No one is calling for the Cowboys name to be changed, because it isn’t about race, and has never offended anyone.

You’re right, because they shouldn’t have had the original name to begin with.

 

[plasticman]

I heard the big cats are petitioning the NFL for the Bengals, Lions, Panthers, Jaguars for those teams to change their name.
Then the birds got involved. So Ravens, Cardinals, Seahawks, Eagles, Falcons want those names changed.
Then other animals also, Rams, Bears, Colts, Broncos don't like it either.
Dolphins, oh them too. Big men, they are mad about the giants name.

So every team will be called....(insert city) Football Team. Now see what them pesky ex-skins started.

I had decided to call them the Washington Unnamed, but I changed my mind. Ex-skins it is!

 

[Cowpolk]

Yes and he looks like he will live another 57 years

 

[DCwarrior]

Regardless of how you feel about Washington changing their name, and if they should have, it’s completely irrational to believe on any level that there’s any support on the smallest level to even suggest Dallas changes their name. If anything, they may one day drop Dallas but that’s doubtful due to how iconic it is

You obviously haven’t been paying a lot of attention.

 

[DCwarrior]

Just the fact that Costas mentioned it means there is some talk of it in some circles.

 

[DCwarrior]

The Chicago Cubs better watch it as well. It’s only a matter of time until adult bears get pissed, especially the elderly bears.

Or young guys that chase older women.
